"Damn it, does this guy have self-awareness?"

Cornes glanced at the stand-in that was flattened by a boulder, and then looked at the big hole above his head with complicated emotions.

He has lived in the human world for hundreds of years. This is actually not the first time he has seen Hercules. He first saw Hercules in the library of the Royal Academy of Magic Valhalla, where he found a book from the Uxir Empire thousands of years ago.

on the history books.

He learned about the operating principle of Hercules, but it was not as intelligent as it was.

However, he was still a little worried. He didn't even have time to give it orders, so why did it start to move freely?

Just when he was puzzled, a petite figure appeared behind him.

"Sure enough, we all fell into your trap." Annie said angrily.

"Haha, that's why I say the old ones are still hotter," Cornes turned around and smiled sadly.

"Tsk, can you please stop showing such a disgusting expression? I just got your way temporarily, so there's nothing to be proud of."

"Well, that's what young people are like. They have to be tough even though they've obviously lost," Cornes spread his hands helplessly, and then continued, "Then, what else can you do next? Kill me? No, no, no, even if you are

Even if you kill me, that thing won't stop. Once it starts, the world will begin a countdown to doomsday. After all, the Dragon King is no longer here, and no one can stop it. I advise you to be mentally prepared as soon as possible."

"Bah!" Annie said impatiently, "Even if this is the case, I will let you be buried first."

"Hmph, I didn't expect that you look so cute, but all you can think about is fighting and killing. It seems that I have to teach you a lesson for your parents first."

After Cornes said this, he launched an offensive without any explanation. He knew that he could not defeat Anne now, but he still wanted to buy as much time as possible for Hercules.

After Emile and Agnes are killed, Byron will supply the remaining half of the energy to Hercules, and then the world will usher in the real end.

Facing the countless black vines summoned by Cornes from the magic circle, Anne silently released the teleportation magic without blinking an eye, and transferred herself in front of Cornes.

This was completely unexpected by the opponent, so Anne was able to send the sharp arrow to Cornes at a very close distance.

"Ugh——"

Cornes couldn't help but groan. His chest was stabbed by dozens of sharp arrows. Although it was not a fatal injury, it was enough to cause him unbearable pain.

He didn't expect that after not seeing each other for a while, Annie's strength would become stronger again, so he had to immediately open the space crack and get in.

Anne suddenly lost her target. She looked around, but even if she used magic perception, she couldn't detect Cornes' figure.

"Did you run away again?"

Anne murmured in a low voice, and suddenly felt a huge trace of magic appearing behind her. She immediately waved the wand over as if on conditioned reflex, and the wind element at the top had long been compressed into a sphere.

However, when the feeling of the hit came out, when Anne turned around, she found that it was not Cornes, but a boulder.

Then, Cornes appeared not far away, looking at her with a smile. His injuries had recovered, and it seemed that he had switched bodies with the double during the teleportation process.

"Haha, do you think you are the only one who can do this trick?"

Anne was not angry, and smiled back.

"I never thought so. I just felt that no one else's teleportation magic is as skillful as mine."

After she finished speaking, she disappeared quietly again. Cornes didn't even have time to see her draw a magic circle or throw out a small piece of paper.

He did not dare to neglect, and quickly used his magic power to sense, and at the same time, he was alert behind him.

But as time passed by, Annie's attack never came, and traces of her magic power completely disappeared from this space.

After a while, Cornes lost his patience. He summoned a large number of transparent arms in front of him to defend against the opponent's close attacks, and then drew a huge magic circle out of thin air.

In an instant, countless black threads stretched out from the magic circle, and finally weaved into a black cage. This was the magic that trapped Lilith in the first place, but now he was using it to protect himself.

However, as soon as he finished doing this, he suddenly sensed traces of Anne's magic power, not from all directions, but from... under her feet.

"What!"

The next moment, a huge light green magic circle appeared on the soles of Cornes' feet.

He quickly turned all his defenses to the soles of his feet, and the cage made of black threads shrank urgently, turning into a carpet and spreading it flat on the ground.

However, even with this level of defense, the expected attack still did not come, and the magic circle under his feet was just glowing.

Cornes couldn't help but wonder, completely confused as to what the fuss was about.

But just when he couldn't understand it, an even larger trace of magic appeared above his head. In fact, Annie just used a blind trick. She sent a large number of small pieces of paper rich in magic to the ground, and then suddenly

When Cornes stood there, she immediately released the magic in the paper, making the other party think that the attack came from the ground.

And she had already reached the ground through the big hole dug by Hercules, and then used teleportation magic to throw a large number of boulders down the hole.

For a moment, boulders rained down from the huge space where Cornes was located. Because it was a purely physical attack, he could not sense it at all.

At this time, the huge magic trace is still a trap, the purpose is to cover the rain of boulders.

Sure enough, Cornes' attention was all on the traces of magic above his head, and he thought Anne had released magic from above.

However, when he was about to deploy the magic barrier he had just learned, he found countless boulders falling down.

"Wha, what!"

It was after his fight with Emil that he understood the importance of magic barrier, so he went to study it specifically.

But he didn't expect that Anne, a serious magician, would actually use such a method.

So, he had to rely on his flexible body to move around, but there were too many boulders, and he was unable to escape in the end, and his whole body was crushed.

Anne had been preparing this magic a long time ago. When she was teaching Emil, that was why she asked him to help make thousands of small pieces of paper.

In fact, there is no need to use small pieces of paper to repair the broken alien space. During the days when she left Byron, she returned to the stronghold of Pandora's Box, and then repaired the alien space with the help of her sisters.

At this time, Anne still did not relax. She knew that Cornes had many substitutes. If he did not see him completely destroyed, it would be impossible to confirm his death.

As expected, Anne sensed traces of Cornes' magic power, but it came from behind.

"Tsk, you are such a piece of candy, how can you be willing to die?"

"Haha, are you bored?" Cornes sneered, "I have a way for you to get rid of me forever, and that is to kill you and Emil together."

"Idiots!" Annie said loudly, "Even if I die, I will kill you first."

Then, she disappeared again, but Cornes was no longer panicking, because this was the ground, and Annie would never have the chance to cause a rain of boulders.

He turned on his magic perception to the maximum, and as long as there were subtle traces of magic, he could react immediately.

But after a few seconds, he realized that he still took it for granted, because a large number of small pieces of paper suddenly appeared in the air.

It was flying all over the sky, and it looked like Annie had scattered all the little pieces of paper.

Cornes couldn't help but think that if all the sharp arrows and boulders were teleported, he might not be able to escape the fate of being seriously injured. He planned to directly prepare to exchange with the substitute.

However, he guessed wrong again. Anne did not intend to attack him directly, but only used teleportation magic.

"Where are you going to teleport me to now?" Cornes smiled slightly.

After all, no matter where he is teleported to, he can still return here through the space rift.

Immediately afterwards, those small pieces of paper emitted a dazzling green light. For a moment, the entire sky turned green, and then the next second, Cornes' figure disappeared.

He felt his eyes go dark. When he could see things clearly, he found that he had arrived at a desert with no edges to be seen. A huge silver moon hung in the sky, and then the whole world was silver-gray.

"……What is this place?"

"This is a different space I created. This must be your first time here, but don't worry, your former partner is here too. You will definitely have something to talk about."

Annie's voice echoed throughout the space, but she still didn't appear.

Cornes didn't understand what she said. Although he couldn't sense the danger for the time being, Anne would definitely not do anything good by teleporting him here, so he wanted to open the space crack, but in the end he found that it was useless.

Because this is a place where Anne has absolute control, she is the god here, and she now stipulates that all magic will not take effect.

"Tch, what a stupid trick, it's not like we are going out to show off." Cornes was furious and helpless, but he never got a reply from Anne. The other party seemed to just leave him here and ignore him.

Just when he was at a loss what to do, a tall woman appeared. She was none other than the wind-attributed Dark Knight, Roanie Camille.

"You're welcome, Cornes."

"Luo Aini? Why is it you?"

"It's surprising, right? But I'm even more surprised because you killed our Lord Demon King." Luo Aini crossed her arms and spoke in a mocking tone.

"...So you want to settle a score with me?" Cornes looked serious.

Luo Aini waved her hands quickly and laughed.

"Of course not. How can I beat you? Besides, don't we demons always worship the strong? Since you have the strength to defeat the Demon King, I am also willing to recommend you as the Demon King."

"Haha, you know the current situation," Cornes smiled with satisfaction, and then said, "From now on, you are the only Dark Knight. You should feel proud and honored. Then come out with me.

, let’s go and witness the demons conquer this world.”

"Yes, my Lord Demon King." Luo Aini bowed and then approached Cornes, "But you haven't accepted the knight's kiss on the hand yet, right? Although this is the etiquette of human knights, we were also humans once, weren't we?

So I’m sorry that it took so long to salute you after you ascended the throne of the Demon King.”

"Haha, it doesn't matter." Cornes became even more delighted.

He always felt that he was a usurper because he did not have the strength to defeat the Demon King at all and only used despicable means. But now, Luo Aini does not know the truth and wants to kiss his hand. This is something that can only be done to the real Demon King.

things that will be done.
